A rediscovered collection.

Caolan’s mechanical tin toys have been packed away for a while, now returned to display and appreciated again for their movement, detail and character.

This brings the Thy Collects series to a close. Thank you for following along with us.

What do you collect? We’d love to hear below.

A living collection.

Josie’s indoor plants have grown steadily over time, filling every available surface and turning a small home into a lush jungle.

Do you have a collection that’s taken over your space?

A collection driven by curiosity and culture.

Shaun’s objects span eras and places, from papier mache masks to home movies, each item chosen for its story and intrigue.

Do you collect something niche and quirky?

A collection shaped by everyday life.

Hugh’s mid-century furniture, mugs and glassware have been gathered over time, finding a sweet spot between considered design and the realities of a busy home.

Like Hugh and his triple-glazed mugs, do you have a one-in, one-out rule for your collection?

A collection built thoughtfully, piece by piece.

Siobhan’s blue and white plate collection began with a kitchen renovation and has gradually grown into a considered display.

Do you have a collection you’ve built slowly over time?

A childhood collection that’s just finding its way back.

Alex’s Lai Khram, blue and white Thai ceramics were collected in Bangkok and have quietly travelled through different chapters, now slowly growing again.

Do you have something you’ve kept since you were young?

At Thylacine, we design spaces for incredible collections, but this time we’re turning inward. Thy Collects explores the personal treasures our team can’t help but gather – quirky, meaningful, and unexpected.

Because collecting isn’t just for museums, it’s human.

Thylacine is celebrating NAIDOC Week by showing up, listening, learning and honouring 50 years of NAIDOC (National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee) activities.

Across our team, we’ve been attending events that celebrate the rich cultures, histories and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

In Canberra, our team attended Murrudha: Sovereign Walks – Track #14 at the ANU School of Art and Design gallery, followed by its opening night, which honoured the powerful 150km sovereign walk by Nangar, Ooloogan and Marvellous from Brungle Station across the Brindabella Range to Canberra. They walked to be present at the opening of the new federal Parliament House 9 -10 May 1927 in the recently established national capital, Canberra.

The exhibition features art, craft, Country, language and music and opened with Aunty Dr Matilda House singing up Country and a beautiful performance from the Djinama Yalaga choir.

Murrudah is curated by Professor Brenda L Croft and is a must see if you are in Canberra or passing through.

In Melbourne, our team visited Camp Stove, an exhibition and program series on the craft of Q***r Blak survival at Craft Victoria, reimagining found objects to spark conversations about community, resistance and environmental justice. Curated by Kate ten Buuren (Taungurung) and Artists, Gabi Briggs, Karla Dickens, ENOKi, Dennis Golding & Yangamini Collective.

Meanwhile, Hugh our Interpretive Designer residing in Newcastle, attended the local flag-raising ceremony and marched alongside hundreds of others to mark the beginning of NAIDOC Week.

We encourage everyone to set aside some time this weekend to tune in and get involved in events and screenings happening in person across the country and on our broadcast channels.

Celebrating a huge milestone for our team with a Thylacine trip to the BridgeMuseum Sydney to experience the result of years of creativity and hard work coming to life.

Seeing our designs transformed into a successful, immersive visitor experience for one of Australia’s most iconic tourism destinations was a proud moment for everyone.

We were also joined by photographer Ben Guthrie during the visit — keep an eye out for his images, which we’ll be sharing soon.
